Street watch

I saw this dude at the Paper Magazine party recently. To me, this look really captures the moment.

This spring, herds of dudes are hitting the streets in tight short pants. I carefully studied the look, and it seems the more untanned the legs, the tighter and darker the short pants.When I say “untanned”, I mean the legs should look like they have been forgotten in the CBGB basement for 25 years, and a sales assistant at John Varvatos just excavated them from under piles of shoe boxes. It’s a smart urban look, good enough to attend civilized events and great for cycling at night if you’ve got no rear light.

A tall scary dog is a great style addition

And my own interpretation of the summerish look:

For a more personal touch, I pair my black tight short pants with an all American preppy look
